A bunch of people seem to have mistaken my last post to mean Bubbles should chill, or is wrong to be offended.
No, no, I should absolutely clarify.
I'm not telling Bubbles to chill. Bubbles was rightfully hurt and offended, and her feelings are completely legitimate. I'm annoyed at the backlash against Ev, and the perceptions of a few people in here about how all social interaction should ultimately be walking on eggshells at all times, aware of all forms of offense that could possibly be caused.

The point I'm making is that anti-Synthetic activism is a learned behaviour rather than an instinctual response to the unknown or a threat. These people hate because they want to have something to hate; they found something and taught themselves to respond appropriately."

You've worded the issue quite eloquently.
The question is, has Evie reached this sophisticated level of thinking, or is she as naive and sheltered as she acts?

Sure. Bubbles has every right to feel offended, and Evie didn't actually make anything wrong. What could we conclude from that situation?

I couldn't agree more. I get more and more the feeling Evie should somehow have used her clairvoyant powers to know how Bubbles was sensitive on some subjects...
